[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is going to Westland as a 7th grader and I emailed the school to ask whether this was a requirement. It is. Apparently they'll be discussing the book ad nauseam all year. I'm as lefty as they come, but I greatly miss the days of classical education, and reading classical literature (with appropriate explanations on misogyny, historical stance against homosexuality, class systems, etc). Rick may be a valuable book to open children's minds, but it certainly is not well-written. I wish Westland had more of a balance between modern culture and great writing. [/quote] I did as well and noted my kid will not be reading this book. There are state law requirements for parental consent for sex Ed and the school is trying to bypass them. What a ridiculous waste of time and no wonder our schools are falling behind globally. [/quote]
